Setting SMART Goals using clear communication

Speak As Well As You Think by Jenn Alex

Episode notes

It's January, so of course, everyone is focused on goal-setting for the year to come.

As you plan your goals out, consider a few things:

  • Set SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound)
  • Be realistic - lofty goals are fine, but know how you're going to get there
  • Communicate your goal(s) clearly to yourself and others
  • Check in often and reflect on how the goal is going - make changes if necessary

Going in with a plan helps breed success. Understanding that failure is sometimes part of a goal creates consistency in showing up. Being clear and reflective with yourself allows room for adjustments or getting back on track.
